SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOUILNALs Our readers will see from the answer returned by Lord Durham to the Westminster Reform Association, that his Lordship has declined receiving their address. The rea sons assigned by his Lordship will at once undeceive those who imagined that " they could make use' of him for the furtherance of their own objects." He does not object to the principles of the address ; but " the address says one thing, the meeting (at which it was adopted) intended an other ; and the whole of the proceedings, taken as one act, abounds in evidence of gross insincerity. I cannot be a party indirectly or remotely to any such mode of dealing with public affairs. As lam ever ready to declare frankly what measures I think desirable, so will I always state my objections to purposes of which I conscientiously disap prove. If I had merely responded to this address, know ing, as I do, that many from whom it proceeds enter tain opinions, and seek objects which I utterly repu diate as destructive to the peace and very existence of society, I should have shared in misleading, not to say deceiving, the public. And that is what I will never do, come what may." The speakers at the Westminster Reform Association meeting formed a very low estimate of Lord Durham's judgment, when they supposed that he would become subservient to the purposes so openly avowed by them. They had the frankness to admit that they saw nothing in the political conduct of his Lordship to induce a belief that he was up to their mark ; but then they supposed him so far blinded by the relation in which he stands towards Ministers, as to be disposed to make common cause with any men who had it in view to break up the Ministry. The extreme Radicals or Tory Radicals, as is well known, deem a Tory Government more favourable for their purposes than the present. Under a Tory Government they think that the general discontent might provoke a re sistance to authority, through which the People's Charter might be carried. Lord Durham must have been blind indeed to have lent himself to the purposes of such a party. The answer of Lord Durham fully justifies the Examiner, which confidently predicted— " That Lord Durham, while doing all that is necessary to the justification of his own conduct, will do nothing calculated to make a division and a breach in the Liberal ranks. What ever may be his feelings towards Ministers, we are thoroughly convinced that he will neither lead nor encourage, nor sanction. any attempt to overthrow them, and so let the Tories mount the breach upon the ruins of the Liberal party We are sure that Lord Durham will never put himself at the bead of a thoughtless, splenetic section; and if they choose to follow him, it will be with an understanding of the ends which he has in view, and the ends which he has not in view, and of the means he proposes for the attainment of his objects. For no one knows better than Lord Durham, what the conse quences would be of turnings the arms of the Radicals against the Whig Administration. In such an event, in all the towns of Great Britain the Whigs would be against the Radicals, and the Radicals would desert the Whigs, and between the dissension of the two the Tories would quietly possess them selves of a majority. We should then see the number of the Ballot in Parliament reduced probably one half by the wise acres, whose ostensible design was the promotion of that question."—Morning Chronicle. Whatever may be our opinions, and we certainly have not taken any pains to conceal them, of Lord Durham's . conduct in Canada, or of his qualifications for the high and important office in that country, by his appointment which the Whigs contrived to get rid of him, we cannot withhold the expression of our sincere approbation and our hearty thanks to the Noble Lord for his manly, honest, and straight-forward rebuke of the miserable Radicals of Westminster, who insulted his Lordship in his misfortunes, by an address, adopted avowedly in the hope that they might " make use of him." Lord Durham, degraded as he is, does not yet feel himself sunk so low as to be a fit tool for Mr. Prout and Dr. Wade and the other statesmen :and patriots of the Westminster Reform Association to " make use of," and his Lordship accordingly turns upon these persons and denounces in good set terms their insolence and :heir hypocrisy. The Noble Lord not only rejects the address o f t ,t . we , Radicals of W es t m i ns t er w ith i n di gna ti on , an d repe l s their aputation with withering scorn, but he says to them, moreover, what may, without any violence of interpreta tion, betaken to import that for the rest of his Lordship's life he intends to have as little as possible to do with either Radicals or Whigs. " The address," observers hi s Lord- ship, " says one Ching, the meeting intended another ;and the whole of the proceedings, taken as one act, abounds in evidence of the grossest insincerity. I cannot be a party, indirectly or remotely, to any such mode of dealing "with public affairs." This is a noble resolution, and we hope Lord Durham will cleave to it. In announcing it the Noble Lord proclaims himself the enemy not of the Wades and the Prows only, but of the O'Connells, and the Mulgraves, and the Russells, and the Rices also. If Lord Durham will never be a party to any mode of dealing with public affairs, which involves " the grossest insincerity," he incapacitates himself equally as a leader of Radicals and as an associate of Whigs, and must have de termined to bid a final adieu to public life, unless he medi tates entering upon the new and honourable career of co operation with Conservatives. Lord Durham's letter, which appears in another column, will be read with pleasure by all the Conservatives and honest men in the country ; while it cannot fail to annoy the offensive insects against whom it is directed, as much as they were annoyed a few months ago, when Sir Francis Burdett called them by their right name.—Morning Post. Some of our Contemporaries have recently evinced great excitement in respect to an intention, said to be en tertained by the Lords of the Treasury, to order a Post office delivery in London on Sundays ; one party in nervous alarm denouncing the intention as of " godless" and " in fidel" character, and another lauding it as one calculated to conduce much to the convenience and benefit of the community, while a third, as it were, admitting the immo rality of the proposition, earnestly repudiate on the part of the Government the imputation of having ever enter lained it. With regret we must observe that so much dis cussion has no more practical basis than misconception and unfounded rumour, the report having originated only in the recommendation of a Committee of the House of Commons last Session, to the effect that " forward letters" arriving in London on Sunday morning in transitu to other places, should not, as now, be de tained until the mail of Monday nights. This recom mendation was the sole ground of the " infidel" and " godless" accusation ; and next to our regret, that the Government have not made the order in question, is that of perceiving, from the anxiety manifested by their organs to repel the imputation of such intention, that they con sider it one of an objectionable character. We had hoped that the days of such cant and pharisaical twaddle had passed away. It is not necessary here to discuss the theo logical portion of the question ; on this, as on all of a similar character, differences of opinion may exist, though t.L.ere can be no doubt that they who consider the delivery c.r perusal of a letter on the Sabbath as impious and irre ligious are but a very miserable minority indeed. It is one of those acts as necessary to the well-being of social and commercial relations as cooking a joint of meat is to ph 3 '. sical comfort It is an operation that cannot be dis pensed with without detriment to the interests and feel .ings of social man—a result never contemplated in the institution of the Sabbath, but always denounced in dis tinct and emphatic terms by the Founder of Christianity, whenever attempts were made to pervert it to such a pur pose. Looking on the theological view of the subject as decided in all rational minds, we would appeal to the Government, on the score of consistency and common sense, not to array itself against a proposition the adoption of which would operate so much to the convenience, interest, and comfort of the inhabitants of this metropolis. In al most all parts of the country, we believe, letters are deli vered on Sundays, and why, as regards morality and reli gion, should one practice obtain in one part of the kingdom, and another in a different? Why, if it be not immoral and sinful, should the metropolis be excluded from having its letters delivered on Sundays ; and if it be immoral and sin ful, why should the Government sanction the Sunday de livery of lett ers i n t h e country ? Is it that they are w illing to connive at sins on a small scale, which they shrink from encountering in the gross • or is "t , t i h nh a a t b t i hey are less care ful of the spiritual welfare of the l 2 Or tants of . the pro vinces than of those of the metropolis the senseless outcry raised by fanatic s and f eat! it be that o . a ge c t oa t. fo propositiontn h i s e ts could have the effect of scaring them fromad which would tend so much to the convenren in c inhabi tants of the metropolis generally, and to the expediti o n and of its mercantile transactions with distant places a es ? Morning Advertiser. In commenting last Thursda y u p o n the hostile desi gn s as t IN7 of eholas against En g land, with the sy stem and perfidious machination by which for of malign ant years p be bad endeavoured to work out their accomplishment, We stated that Great Britain n eeded only to turn upon her enemy, and administer a sharp kick or two, when he would put his tail between his legs at once, and crouch an d cringe, and supplicate our forbearance, and cry out that b e meant no harm. In illustration of this spirit of Muscovite truth and honour, we stated, on the authority of corres pondents well entitled to credit, that the symptoms lately exhibited by Great Britain o f her se eing thro u g h ihe schemes of Nicholas—the fact of her having re ceived full evidence of the conspiracies fostered by his Tatar Majesty for the overthrow of British power in all parts of the world, and the consequent measures for her own security which Great Britain had lat terly begun to adopt, bad metamorphosed the bold bully into the sneaking apologist, and wrung from the tyrant of Persia, Circassia,- and Turkey, a barefaced " disavowal of one and all the designs imputed to him by the Press and Government of this country." Our assertion that the "Russian Cabinet had " struck" as completely as the fleet of h'isssia would do, if the navy of England were kept (which it h, not been) in serviceable fighting condition, was fully confil - n od by a weekly paper of yesterday, known to speak, with re , d to foreign affairs, just what is set down for it by Lord Palmerston, and nothing more nor less. The paper in question displays the following paragraph—viz., " It has within these few days been put forth, that Russian, intriguers were busy in fomenting the Canadian insurrection_. We cannot pretend either to deny or to affirm the truth of that statement ; but we are enabled to declare that thy: Emperor of Russia has recently given to our Government the most frank assurances" (for " frank" read "fraudulent") " of his pacific feeling towards this country, and the most positive denial of his having had recourse to any measures, either open or secret, tending to the in jury of British interests in any quarter whatsoever. We doubt not this assurance must be most gratifying to oer Government, and cannot but meet with all the credit it deserves." ( Yes, exactly, " all the credit it deserves."' Now, we acknowledge that it must be gratifying both to the Government and the nation that such assurances should have proceeded from Russia at the present crisi.e because they amount to a clear demonstration—of what ? of the veracity of Russia in giving such assurances? Not the least in the world. They demonstrate or indicate no such thing. They go for nothing more than a confessitai —and so far a satisfactory one—that Nicholas does not just at present feel any stomach for a war with England —that he is not strong enough—that he is not yet quite ready. These " frank" (Lord Palmerston is laugh ing ouright at the innocent Russian)—these " frank" assurances are obviously meant to throw England off her guard—in homely parlance to bamboozle her— to imply that she ought to relax her measures of precaution—to forego her defensive preparations—to suspend the equipment of ships, if there be any in forward ness—to shut up again the rendezvous lately opened for seamen—to prohibit the enlistment of any more troops—to countermarch the Eastern army now crossing the Sutlri and the Indus ; and, in fine, to fling away the shield which we had just begun to handle, opening the naked breast of England to a sudden death-stab from the most treacherou and remorseless power that ever disgraced the name of Government, outraged the principles of justice and nation it freedom, or threatened the best interests of public morality, and the most sacred institutions of society amongst c;. vilized men. If we are told that the " assurances" of Russia ought to disarm England of her apprehensions, arol induce her to recede from, or even to halt in, tie , precautionary position which she has so recently at,- sumed, we reply that /voids from Russia are nothing worth, but as stimulants to increased wariness and foresight on the part of other powers. That with Persia, with Turkey, as well as in the instances of Circassia, of Wallachia, of the Danube, of Greece, and Poland, even where treaties were made, and the acqui escence or assent of England was conditional on their up right and direct fulfilment, such compacts were audaciously broken within a year of their receiving the signature of Russia—nay, in some cases, from the very hour of their exe cution. Fortresses were retained in breach of treaty— fortresses, nay, provinces, were seized in contempt of treaty. There can, therefore, it is quite manifest, be no reliance placed on the good faith of this long-practised aggressor upon the rights of all her defenceless neighbours, and there ought to be no change (because of her declarations merely) in the course adopted by any discerning Govern ment. It ought to be observed on the present occasion. moreover, that the disavowal by Russia of every design in jurious to Great Britain or her interests embraces only such projects as those of which the direct and ostensible aim is to inflict wrong upon England. Of those encroaching schemes and enterprises. whose tendency is to wound the British em pire through the sides of other countries, or through a sub version or violent disturbance of the equilibrium of power among States—for instance, of the advances of the Rus sian arms in Asia beyond the Caspian, or between the Caspian and Euxine, or towards the Persian Gulf—or of preparations for another iniquitous attack upon Turkey, by which England and her European allies must suffer, if not an immediate loss of territory, at least a grievous and fatal blow to their peaceful commerce, and to their po litical independence, there is no mention whatsoever made in the " conciliatory" note of Russia. Yet England has a profound interest in the restraint of the Russian Govern ment from such aggressions as these upon the general repose of the world, no less than from direct assaults upon her own dominions, and a right to satisfaction altogether as in disputable and complete. For the professions of pacific policy, therefore, which have now been tendered by the Government of St. Petersburgh, 'with a view to muzzle the just complaints of England, and to paralyze her demon strations of a new-found vigour—we set them down as utterly valueless. The ambition of Russia yields to pressure, but shoots again the moment when the pressure is withdrawn. Her shuffling present substitution of a mode rate and friendly attitude, for the more natural one of un mitigated animosity and rancour, was foretold emphatically by the author of the pamphlet on the " Progress of Russia in the East," referred to already in this journal ; and at the same time, and by the same competent hand, a glance at the causes which have led to the gradual decline of Bri tish influence and authority, when brought into collision with those of Russia, is afforded in the following passages :—" It is asked, what has brought on this alarming condition of things, this rapid decay of British influence and power ? The question is easily and simply answered. It is the irre solution, the timidity, or the false economy of English policy and measures, which, losing sight of the national best interests and power, and enamoured of peace— peace at any rate—have paralyzed the vigour of her coun cils, and induced her Government rather to concede and conciliate than to stand firm, and resent the smallest ag gression on her interest, which has stripped her foreign en voys of favour and means, when these should rather have been increased, to match the agents of a power that never spares money or scruples at measures which are to further her ultimate ends. How could the Schah of Persia or the chiefs of Affghanistan resist the promises or brave the threats of Russia—which experience had proved to be no empty words—in order to cling to England, envoys of which could neither promise efficient protection, nor threaten with effectual punishment ? • The attitude assumed in Persia by Russia, or at least by her agent, is unquestionably hos tile ; but, with the art which governs all her po licy a loophole has been left in case of need. She mar/ disavow the acts of her envoy—and if need be she will (i. , ) so." (This we believe has actually since been done by the Emperor Nicholas.) " But is Russia yet in circumstances to brave and to wage a war with England ? That is the question. We think not, even were she to have England single-handed for her antagonist. The proof of this may he found in the conduct of Russia herself. The day is gone by when doubts might have been entertained of her pro . Jects of conquest and territorial agrandizement. Every as .Trtion she has made of moderation and self-denial has been belied by her acts. But she knows when, where, and hoe to make her approaches, and carefully avoids all attempt, at encroachment, whether political or territorial, wiles,• there is danger of coming too fully under the public eye. To England she has been particularly lavish of pa cific assurances and conciliatory declarations ; were sh e prepared for a rupture, would this be the case 1' We quote, however, the concluding words of the pamphlet—that " The integrity and independence of Persia are necessary to the security of India and of Europe, and any attempt to subvert the one is a blow struck at the other—an unequivocal act of hostility to England." " This act has now been perpetrated, and that point in the pro gress of Russia where resistance to her dangerous ambition becomes imperative has surely been reached. The moment for firmness in language and decision in act has arrived, and let it not be forgotten that a neglect of such junctures, a constant sacrifice of opportunities in dealing with a powerful and encroaching adversary, must at length place us in a po eition where to struggle may be vain, and we may awake from our lethargy too latefor safety," It may be true diet Russia is now not a match for England, but successive en croachments have made her five times more powerful than she was 50 years ago, and a few more unopposed acquisi dons may augment and invigorate her existing force, until we, and not she, become at length the weaker party.— Times. Indications have lately appeared in a Morning Tory Paper, and a Whig Evening one, of a longing among some of the Conservative party and their Whig-Radical oppo- . (lents to " coble up" a compromise (th e a tte m pted o n e of last session having proved aborti ve ), w ith a v i ew t o ruling the country by means of that political monstrosity—a COA LITION MINISTRY. We should not be sorry to see such a thing done, because we should like to ascertain, upon une quivocal evidence, who are the leaders of the Conservative party so rotten at heart and decrepit in intellect as to give, under any circumstances, the fraternal embrace to the Lichfield House Ministry—the men who obtained office by the appropriation swindle—who have saciificed Ireland for the support of the profligate Agitator whom the Whigs had previously denounced in the speech from the Throne— who did their best to put the House of Lords under the hoof the pestilent brawler against " Saxon" institutions— and who, finally, avowed the intention of inflicting a heavy blow and great discouragement on Protestantism. We should certainly like to know, as we have said, upon evi dence which no man can dispute, who the Conservatives are, whose sordid anxiety for office induces them to specu. late upon the manufacture of a coalition Cabinet, in which the Melbournes, the Russells, the Spring Rices, and Pal inerstons, whose names are indissolubly associated with the most disreputable hostility to the religion and institutions of England, may lovingly embrace with the pledged defenders t y eem o d f such a of our ancient Constitution inChurch and State. When we denounced the attempted compromise zealouslyi se of a s a t d v oc.a session,advocated, which we thin g if it succeeded endino lsuodme o t f o o t u .h r e T p r o o r .b y in s e c a lition . Ministry. The bad faith Of the Whigs, and some intelligible hints from the mast er o f the " many-jointed tail" that any compromise i n which IT was not amply provided for would not be considered justice to I re l an d , " cause d that huxtering " settlement, which would have settled nothing, to fall to the ground, to the great " dismay" of some Tories and many Whigs. Those Conservatives who are looking forward to a coalition Ministry now will be ready, we have no doubt, to offer, as the price of office, the sacri• five of the Protestants of Ireland to their implacable enemies. The English public may rest essured that such a sacrifice, if allowed to be carried into effect, will be productive of great calamities, if not of utter ruin, to the British empire. In connection with the subject of this suggested coa lition we cannot but observe that, notwithstanding the ex perience which we have had of late years of the Punic faith I of the Whigs and their Popish allies, there seems still to be a determination to surrender the Protestant Corporations of Ireland to the enemy, and to hand them over to O'Con nell to be converted into his " normal schools of political agitation." If this be not delillerate treachery to the Protestant cause it is absolute infatuation. In the Cor poration of Dublin Mr. Frederick Shaw has been charged with a desertion of principle in having refused to support the petition of the Lord Mayor and Corporate body to be heard by Counsel at the bar of Parliament against the intended measure for the surrender of the Corporate power of the metropolis of Ireland to the enemies of British connection, who have already possessed themselves of the representation of that city. Mr. Frede rick Shaw owes whatever political importance he has to the Corporation of Dublin. Most assuredly, if the Cor poration had not made him their Recorder, he would never have been elected to represent the Dublin University. What would be said of the Recorder of London, if, in the instance of the Government making an attempt upon the chartered rights and privileges of the City, as it now does, by endeavouring to introduce there a Home-office Police, he declined to support in Parliament a petition from the civic body, to be heard in defence of those rights and privileges ? But we cannot forget that Mr. F. Shaw is one of those Irish Conservative Members who, last Session, expressed himself most anxious for the then proposed compromise. We recollect he was reported to have exclaimed to Lord John Russell, " We have offered to concede a great deal, and you will not concede anything." We hope this Learned Gentleman, and " Con servatives" like him, will be stopped by the honest ex pression of English Protestant feeling, in their plans of "surrender." We have had enough of that already with out producing any other effect than increasing the insolence of the Agitator's demands for further concessions to Popish ambition. We see to what lengths the unchecked "pre cursor" agitation is proceeding, with its enrolment of " two millions of men," to petition the Queen for " justice to Ireland," which means nothing short of the utter destruc tion of the Protestant Church and " Saxon" institutions. While this goes on, some of our Tory Contemporaries, in a spirit very unlike that which made England, before she was humiliated by Whig rule, the foremost nation of the world, recommend the Orangemen of Ireland to lie down and allow the organized bands of their enemies—the peti tioningfighting men—to walk over them ! That was not the way in which Ireland was preserved at the revolution to the British Crown.—Morning Herald. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, DECIIIMBER 17, 1838, have run round the neck. There i; a cut in the front or the collar which Mr. Bolam had on on Thursday. That cut must have required some force to have made it, it being cut through whalebone. There was no corresponding mark on Bolam's neck to such 4cut as appeared on the stock. The inside of the stock is much stained with blood, but the out side of it is nearly clean, being very little stained. I have also examined the silk handkerchief which I am told was over the stock which Bolam had on. That handkerchief is much stained with blood, ho' oi on the outside and on the ' inside. Had that handkerchief been over the stock at the time the neck was cut, I think the stock would have been much more stained with blood on the outside than it is. The cuts on the handkerchief correspond in point of situa tion with the cuts on the stock, but they are more numer nus.—[The stock and handkerchief were produced and examined by the Jury.] There are some drops of blood on the outside of the waistcoat, and also a small quantity of blood in the inside. The marks on the outside of the waistcoat are as if blood had dropped upon it. There are marks of blood on the under part of the breasts of the coat, apparently made in an upright position. I have examined the shoes shown to me as those of Bolam, and I find two or three spots of blood upon the upper leather of both shoes. There are also two or three spots of blood on the gaiters. There are also some spots of blood on Bolam's trousers, but they are very slight. There is blood on the edge of the left. wristband. If Mr. Bolam had been stand ing at the time he received the wound in his neck, the blood trickling down might have produced these appear ances on his clothes ; but if he had been in a horizontal position it would have been different. Mr. Glenton, surgeon, gave similar testimony as to the superficial nature of the wounds on Bolam. He then said that when injuries are received upon the head impor tant derangements of the functions of the brain may take place, when there is no apparent relation between those symptoms and the external appearances. Believing that fact to be so, I think Mr. Bolam may have remained for a certain time in a state of insensibility ; he might have remained in such a state for hours. •A person might re rin in such a state of insensibility for five hours from a blow on the head, and afterwards regain his consciousness without medical assistance. The wound in the neck was bleeding at the time I saw it, but it did not appear is if it had just been inflicted. I think that a blow, capable of producing the effect which I saw in the temple, might have rendered him insensible. If insensibility had not been immediately produced by that blow, but came on afterwards in consequence of it, I think the probability is that his consciousness could not have been restored without medical treatment. During the time Mr. Bolam says he was lying in the bank, he may have recovered his consciousness and afterwards relapsed into a state of insensibility. I think his senses might come and go. I think if Bolam had been laid on his back the blood from the wound in his throat might have run down his shirt and stained the breast as it now ap pears. In raising Bolam up, when I first saw him, I think it possible that some of the blood may have fallen on his shoes and on other parts of his clothes. Although uncon scious, Bolam may have raised his hand to his head, and daubed the wristband of his shirt without daubing his hand. My impression is, that the cuts in the coat, waistcoat, and shirt correspond with the scratches on:his side, but I can not swear that they do so, as I have not examined them particularly. I believe that the scratches might have been caused by the instrument which cut the clothes, and at the same time. Had Mr. Bolam continued long in the place where he was found he would have died from suffocation, if the room had not been speedily ventilated. The scratches on Bolam's body were, according to my impression, up and down, crossing the ribs obliquely. I think it possible that the abrasion between the scratches may have been caused by a kick. I think it is consistent with probability, that if Mr. Bolam had laid in a state of insensibility from the time he states that he received a blow to the time he was found, he might have been as well as he was on the Friday. Mr. W. Nesham, surgeon, gave reasons for believing that Bolam, when found, had not been labouring under concus sion of the brain. He also deposed to the slightness of the wounds on his neck and person. George Ridley, formerly a clerk in the Bank, spoke to the good terms upon which deceased and Bolam used to live, and that the latter had interested himself to obtain a situation for deceased in the bank. Matthew Cree, porter in the bank, deposed to the same effect. He then gave evidence as to the position of the deceased and Bolam when he (witness) left the bank in the afternoon previous to the murder. When I left the bank at half-past three o clock Bolam and Millie were sitting side by side at the table, and apparently on good terms with each other. All the time that Millie was there I never heard an angry word between them. Mr. T. M. Greenbow, surgeon, deposed as to the posi tion and nature of Bolam's wounds. He said—l should think the scratches were about two inches in length, but perhaps hardly that. They appeared to have been made by a sharp instrument, which had not penetrated the skin— certainly they had been made by repeated blows or strokes, not by one blow or stroke. Any sharp instrument, and, therefore, a pen knive, might have made them. A penknife might easily have effected the appearances I saw. As the cuts on Bolam's body corresponded exactly in situation with the cuts on the clothes, I think it probable that the marks on the skin were caused by an instrument which passed through the clothes. It did not appear to me that the marks on Bolam's body were likely to have been produced by a violent thrust made against him. I also examined Bolam's neck. I found a cut on the left side, which was nearly healed ; it was under the jaw-bone on the left side, and it had been about an inch and a half or two inches long. It appeared to me quite a superficial wound. I also examined the stock. There was a cut on the front part of the stock which had cut through it. The position of the cut on the stock did not correspond with that of the wound. I think it not probable that the same cut which cut the stock could have cut the neck, unless the stock had been in a different position from that in which it was. Mr. Henry Heath, surgeon, deposed—l examined the right sleeve of the coat, and also the lining of the same sleeve. There arc marks, which I think to be marks of blood, on both sleeve and lining. I think there has been an attempt to rub out the blood on the right sleeve. I should think that the attempt has been made with water, and that the water and blood hid gone through the cloth, and stained the lining. There is an appearance of roughness on the nap of the cloth on the outside. It is the appearance we often find upon our own coats after an operation, if we take a towel dipped in water and rub the coats with it. I think, from the appearance of the wound, Bolam must have received the wound whilst he was lying down. If this wound had been received at seven at night I do not think that any blood might be ooz ing from it at two o'clock the next morning. I think it would be entirely dry by that time. The wound on the neck could not have bled many minutes. Ido not think Bolam could have received the marks of blood on his coat and waistcoat whilst he was lying on his face. I give my opinion as to the time the wound might have bled with considerable hesitation, the wound having been healed when I saw it. Mr. Joseph Armstrong, cashier of the savings' bank said, —I have known Mr. Bolan) about sixteen years, during the whole of which period he has been actuary in the bank. He was always very correct in his accounts with the bank, and I have no reason to think there is now any incorrectness in his accounts, nor any defalcation in his accounts—there cannot be, because none of the money passed through his hands. He might receive money from individuals, but. it would be at their risk and not at that of the bank. I have net heard that he has received money in that '.';ay and not accounted for it. , I found the keys of Bolam's desk in the lock of the desk on the morning of the fire. It is the desk nearest the window. The desk was open. There was no money in that desk, but there was some copper in the one adjoin ing, which was also open. I have known Millie for about twelve or fourteen months. During that period he has been occasionally employed in the Bank up to May last, and since then constantly employed. He had not, how ever, received his appointment as permanent clerk until Tuesday week, when at a meeting of the directors he was so appointed. I believe Mr. Bolam had interested himself with the directors to get Millie that appointment. Bolan' and Millie were upon good terms, at least as far as I ever saw . I have seen Mr. Bolam wear an office coat a t th e bank—it acobaltueforcotawto. months. During I D ha u v r e ing no w t h s ic e h en t h im im e h wear e has been wearing a black coat. He has not lately been we aring sleeves above his coat. I cannot say how l ong it is since I saw him we a r his sleeves , Mr. Bolam had the that w bluea charge of the keys of the safe, but there is a safe withi n the large one , the keys of which Mr. Cooke or I k e pt when any money belonging to the bank was put i n t o s it. Mr. Bolam had the key of the inner safe on the night of the fire. The key of that safe has never yet been found. The inner safe has been opened, and amongst other things found in it were about 801. in notes, belonging to Mr. Bolam, and his own money. I was not aware before the fire how many keys there were belonging to the door of the large room leading into the Arcade. I then learnt there were three. I am not aware that any key was taken to Sir Matthew Ridley and Co.'s bank every night. About ten or twelve months ago I heard Mr. Bolam say some thing about an anonymous letter, but I do not recollect what he said about it. I think if he had said it contained a threat to take away his life I should have recollected it. I am quite sure that within the last six months he has not said anything to me about any anonymous letter. A person passing from the bank door to go to Mr. Bolam's desk would go within six feet of the place where Millie was l y i ng . When I went into Mr. Glenton's about four o'clock morning, Bol am sa id t h at h e ha d rece i ved some anonymous letters. Mr. Bl ac k we ll t h en as k e d hi m if h e had° nFriday ever s ho w n any o£ the letters to any one. He said to • had shown one to Mr. Buinitn, and moving hi s b on y wards me, said, " Mr. Armstrong, you know about thoru." I do not know whether the letter he had shown to Mr. Bulman and the one he spoke to me about twelve months ago was the one he meant, or it was one he had lately re ceived. John Buiman—l am secretary to the savings' bank. I have known Archibald Bolam for several years. I C•neat bring to my recollection that he ever told me hi I,a. ! ceived any anonymous letters. As far as my recoil: cjon goes I never saw any anonymous letters which he shooed rne. I have not the least rearo❑ to suppose that there is anything wrong in Mr. Bnlam's accounts with the bank. John Blakey—l am a shoemaker in Newcastle. I knew Millie, the deceased. I have been well acquainted wiih him for the last eighteen months. On the evening of the 10th of October last., Mr Millie called on me to pay a small bill. We entered into conversation, after he had paid his bill, about the Savings' Hank. I asked him "if he was likely to get appointed ?" He stated that the person who was in the bank, or who had just left, was doing everything in his power to prevent him getting the situation ; stating that the same person had sent letters to Mr. Bolam, defaming his character. That Mr. Bolam had behaved so honourably to him as to let him see two of the letters that had been sent. He also stated, that notwithstanding these attempts to prevent his appoint ment, he expected that, with Mr. Bolam's assistance, he would succeed. He thought it was very cruel on the part of the person who left the bank to act towards him as he had done. Mr. Bolam did not show me any of the letters which he had received. The depositions of John Turnbull and of his wife Anne Turnbull were to the same effect as Blakey's evidence. The whole of the evidence having been brought to a close, the COILONXR addressed the jury to the following ef fect :—That the crime of murder has been committed, is a fact upon which there can be no question ; but a most lin portant question does arise, and that is, By whom was that murder committed f There can only be two verdicts which you can, from a consideration of the evidence, give in this case. One would be a verdict of " Wilful murder, against some person or persons unknown." Upon a full considera tion of this evidence, should you be satisfied that Mr. Bo lam is the man who has committed the murder—because there is against no other person the slightest suspicion at present—if Bolam committed the murder upon Millie, we shall probably never be able to find out the cause, because it appears that up to the very time it was committed, if it ever was committed, Bolam was acting to Millie as a friend —almost as a brother. Up to the very period when Mr. Millie was murdered Bolam acted towards him with unmea sured kindness. That is a circumstance in favour of Bo lam. In the absence of all motive you will be compelled to look well at the evidence which has been produced against Mr. Bolam before you say whether he is guilty or not ; but if, after considering the evidence, you come to a conclusion that the statement made by Bolam is not true —that he has told a tissue of falsehoods—that his state ment is contradicted by the evidence—that the appearance on his clothes and person could not possibly have happened under the circumstances which he relates, then, however painful it may be, you will consider yourselves bound to find him guilty of this murder. After carefully reading over the whole of the evidence, and commenting on such parts of it as appeared to bear strongly on the case, the Coroner again addressed the Jury. If (said he) from a careful consideration of the evi dence before you, and from your own inspection of the dress which was found upon Bolam, you are satisfied that the marks upon the body were not inflicted by a sharp in strument—if you are satisfied that he himself made those wounds, you will have no difficulty in coming to a conclu sion upon the subject. The Jury then retired, and after having remained in de liberation for about half an hour, returned into Court and delivered a verdict of " Wilful Murder against Archibald Bolam." When the verdict was announced signs of approbation were manifested by the people assembled in the Court, which, however, the Coroner suppressed. THE HORRIBLE MURDER AT NEWCASTLE. VERDICT AGAINST BOLAM. The investigation before the Coroner, that occupied several days was resumed last Friday, when it terminated by the Jury returning a verdict of " Wilful murder against Archibald Bolam." Of the facts of this foul and most mysterious murder, the public are already in possession. It will, therefore, be superfluous to give more than the principal parts of the evidence adduced at the adjourned inquest on the body of the murdered man Millie. A. N. Hall, a porter, deposed th a t h e an d a person named Appleton, one of he fireman, were the first who saw Bolam. Appleton held the lanthorn to Bolam's face. When the lanthorn was first held towards Bolam, he was lying in a resting position on his left side, with his right leg extended, and his left leg bent under him. [Here the witness extended himself on the floor in the position in which he saw Bolam lying.] I cannot tell whether or not when I first saw him his head was touching the ground. When the light was held to his face, he raised his head up a little, and supported himself on his left elbow, and looked quite " brent" up with his eyes. At the time when he looked up, Mr. Armstrong, who was also present, said, " Bolam, Bolam, is that you ?" Mr. Alderman Dunn was also present, and there were several others. Bolam made no answer ; but just dropped his head and laid down again. I mean by the term " brent up eyes," that his eyes were quite open. He kept his eyes open a very short time, and as soon as Mr. Armstrong spoke to him, he closed them and dropped his head. He appeared to me to be in a fainting state, from the way in which he lay down. Mr. John Baird, surgeon, after describing the nature of the wounds upon the body of the deceased, deposed—The wounds which I have described were the cause of his death. Upon the left arm of the deceased, on the external side, I found an extensive mark of contusion, with two abrasions of the cuticle. These two marks had been caused by a se vere blow, I should think, or they might have been caused by falling on the fender. From the situation of the blow I think it extremely probable that it was received whilst he was in the act of holding up his arm to protect his head. His left hand also bore marks of having been considerably bruised. The right hand was in the same way, but in a less degree. These were all the marks which I discovered on his person. All the blows on the head must have been given with great violence, more especially that one on the upper lip. The poker is a likely instrument to have been used in producing the wounds. The cuts had not been made with a sharp instrument. I also examined Mr. Bolam on Saturday, the Bth Dec. at one o'clock. I saw him at the gaol, where I examined his person. There wasa wound on the left side of his neck, running parallel with the base of the jaw. [Here Mr. Baird exhibited a drawing of Bolam, exhi biting the cut in his neck.) The wound, I think, had been made by some sharp instrument, and was about two or three inches in length, and merely a cuticular wound ; i. e., just going through the skin. There was a plaster upon it at the time. There was a mark of contusion on the left side, under the mamma, or lelt breast, the skin was not broken. It was only a trifling contusion, and it appeared to have been given by a blow. On the right side, nearly in a similar situation, the skin was broken by two or three scratches, a pparently made by the point of a penknife or other sharp instrument. If Bolam had baen struck by any person with a sharp instrument it would not have caused those marks ; :here would only have been one wound, and it would have been a much deeper one. To make such a wound as I saw would have required as many motions of the hand as there are marks. I examined the coat, waistcoat, shirt, and flannel shirt which Mr. Bolam had on, and compared the marks in those with the scratches on his body. lam obli ge d, from the examination of his clothes, to come to the conclusion that the marks on his body had not been given through his clothes. My reasons for thinking so ire that the holes in the waistcoat, shirt, and flannel shirt are of a jagged square form. There are other cuts on the coat shown to me as Bolam's, which must have been made by a very sharp instrument—they are entirely unlike the other cuts. I think, as far as I can judge, the scratches on the body correspond with the jagged cut in the clothes. There are several other cuts on the coat, but I do not find any other marks on the body corresponding with those cuts.—( The clothes were here produced, and were exa mined by the jury. There are six cuts in the shirt, two in the waistcoat, and one in the flannel shirt.) I think the blood on Bolam's shirt might have all come from the cut in his neck. If, after receiving the cut in his neck, Bolam had continued lying either on his face or back horizontally, I am of opinion that the blood from the wound would not have flowed down the breast of his shirt. On examining the shirt close to the edge of the collar, I observed a cut on each side of the collar, but I find no corresponding marks on Bolam's body. I certainly think that those cuts in the shirt were not made by the same attempt by which the wound was given to him in the neck. The cut in the neck is so clean a wound, that I think any person giving it could not have in tended to do him any serious harm. Judging from the blood which appears on the shirt, and supposin g it to have proceeded from the wound in the neck, I thi n k Mr Bolam must either have been sitting or standing upright when it was inflicted. A right-handed person cutting himself would naturally cut the left side of the neck. If Mr. Bolam had been lying on the ground on his face, and any person had come behind him and lifted up his head and cut his throat, he would most likely have cut it on the right side. I think the person intending to do any injury to Bolam would have made a much deeper wound, and would have selected a more vital part. The wound is more like an incised wound, such as a surgeon would make in commencing an operation. I also examined Bolam's head. He named to me that he had received blows on his head, from which he was suffering pain, but I did not find any appearances to bear that out. I found no effects of contusion about his head. He pointed out to me two different places where be had received blows. They were about the temples, but I could see no e ffects produced by blows there. I do not think that Bolam was in a state of insen sibility or derangment from the cut hi his neck or the other marks which I have described. There was nothing to have caused a loss of voice. Supposing him to have been rendered insensible by the injuries which he received, I think it impossible that he could have remained in sensible for hours. If the blows had been sufficient to fell might have fallen He co u ld not f h ;: m om , a they v would b fr a o v left a mark in e his own im b p u e t t u h s e . have been rendered insensible except by concussion of the brain, and in that case he would have remained insensible for some time afterwards—he would have been incoherent for perhaps a fortnight. It is possible that the wounds on his right side might have been made through the clothes, but I think they were not so made. If the blood from the neck had flown while he was in a lying position, it would BRIEF MEMOIR OF THE DECEASED. The deceased, Joseph Millie, was born at North Shields, and at the time of his lamentable death was fifty-four years of age, but he appeared somewhat older. At his father's decease, some six-and-twenty years ago, he succeeded to his business, a hardwareman in his native town. This he carried on for some time for the support of himself and his mother ; but from a falling off in this trade, he became straitened in his circumstances, and he relinquished the business. Being too honest to become either an insolvent or a bankrupt, when he found that his custom was de clining and that he was carrying on business at a certain loss, he told his creditors the circumstances in which he was placed, and of his own free will and consent sold off his stock, and paid all his creditors their just demands. So satisfied of Millie's integrity were the principal parties of whom he had obtained goods, that they volun tarily offered to give him credit for more, when ever he found it advisable to commence again. He, however, never ventured on such a step, the natural timi dity of his disposition, coupled with his honesty of principle, not allowing him so enter upon any speculation of trade which had even the possibility of failure. After having, as just mentioned, ceased from the business of a hardware man, various reverses of fortune attended him ; and his whole life was one continual struggle for an humble but honest livelihood. In 1818, 19, or 20, Millie was for some time in the city of York, engaged to assist a dealer in bats, named Watson, who had his sale-room in Coffee-yard, Stonegate. Watson, however, leaving York, and also, we believe, giving up business, Millie was again thrown on the " world's wide waste." All this time, as will as for several years afterwards, the mother of Millie was mainly dependent on him for support. In 1821, we find him keeping a school at the Ouseburn, near Newcastle, which school, we learn, from a letter in his own writing pro duced about seventeen shillings per week. The number of scholars attending the school, however, falling off, he gave it up ; but what was his next employment we are not aware. Sometime about the period we are speaking of Millie got married, and his wife was, like himself, not rich, but of a good and amiable disposition ; and of her he always spoke in the most affectionate manner. Millie was for some time clerk with Messrs. Pickersgill, the carriers, Newcastle ; but at what particular period of his life we know not. In 1826- 27 he was engaged in the warehouse of Messrs. Hawks and Co., iron -works, Gateshead. At that time, writing to a friend in York, he says, " My situation is a very comfort able one." Such, however, was the hard fortune he had to contend against, that, in the letter alluded to, lie observes, " I have had some difficulties since I last wrote to you (fourteen months ago.) I was confined at home of an inflam mation of the chest, which, with the small salary I had, plunged me into debt," He then goes on to state that he had had law procedings commenced against him for a small deLt for flour, which debt he was trying to pay by instal ments. We do not know precisely what was the occasion of Millie leaving Gateshead ; but it is evident that it was from no misconduct of his own. In 1832-3, the writer of this sketch knew Millie in North Shields ; he was then, as he observes himself, in a letter - written some time after, " out of a situation, getting a job occasionally," He was employed by the writer on "rt • or two occasions to deliver and post bills, &c. ; and_ ior his general demeanour and good conduct, the writes- willingly bears his humble testimony. In May, V.:35, Millie lost his wife. She had been delivered of a child but nine days before her death, and " through the mismanagement of a surgeon and a mid wife," to use poor Millie's own words, " her life was made a sacrifice." Two months after the death of Mrs. Millie, the child to which she had last given birth also became a tenant of " the narrow house ;" and Millie was then left with four children, two boys and two girls, the eldest eleven years of age, and the youngest three years. Again, to add to his misfortunes, in January, 1836, the whole of his children were afflicted with the measles, but from which they in •?_tue time recovered. Sometime in 1836, we understand W. l aie got a situation with a Mr. Murray, millwright, Chester-le -street, but in what capacity he was employed we are not informed. Millie had been, for some time previou s to his unfortunate death, engaged, in a state of probation, at the savings' bank ; and he was only fully appointed to his situation three days before he was barbarously murdered. He was a quiet, peaceably-disposed man, and was never known to do the least injury to any one. He was highly respected by those who had any acquaintance with him—he was, in every respect, an upright man. The body of Millie, haying been removed from the Savings'-bank on Friday night, was interred on Sunday afternoon, at two o'clock, at the Bal last Hills Buryin g Ground, it being followed to its final resting-place by his four destitute children, and a number of friends, PARTICULARS OF BOLAM. We have n o t b een a bl e to gat h er muc h i n f ormat i on re lative. to Mr. B o l am ; b ut we are g i ven to un d erstan d t h at before he obtained his appointment in the Savings'-bank, he had practised some time as a teacher, in which capacity he was engaged in Mr. Bruce's school, in Percy-street,and subsequently as master of the Royal Jubilee School in this town. He has held a situation in the Savings-bank up wards of sixteen years, and a very high opinion had been formed of him by his employers. He appears to be about forty years of age. He is a native of Harbottle, nea r Rothbury, and has a brother residing there in good cir cumstances. On Saturday morning a serious accident occurred in Covent-garden Market to one of the porters, which was attended with fatal consequences. It appears that the un fortunate man was carrying a heavy load of vegetables on his head, when he slipped down and fell violently, in doing which he ruptured a blood-vessel, the blood flowing from him in great quantities. He was removed to Charing-cross Hospital, where he expired shortly after. NAVAL NCI6. (From the Hamphire Telegraph.) PORTSMOUTH, DEC. 15.—Our intelligence from Jamaic a reaches to the Ist ult.
